Snake - Web Game

Project Overview

A replication of the classic Snake game using HTML Canvas and JavaScript. Features include snake movement, spawning power-ups when user reach certain score, sound effects, easter egg, difficulty(gradually increase snake's length, slithering speed) and mobile touch controls.

Challenges

  • Implementing smooth controls and collision detection
  • Auto scalling game board for different screen sizes
  • Implement wall wrapping - when snake hit the wall, it appears on the other side of the board

Future Improvements

  • Implement leaderboard
  • Add visual effect when snake consumes power-ups
  • Create more advanced levels with obstacles

Reflection

This project was a fun way to learn about JS events and game development concepts like game loops, collision detection, and state management. I also gained experience with the Canvas API.
